- Biographical Information
- Pupetta is a straight portrait of Pupetta Maresca, a modern day Medici princess, the head of the Mafia in Naples. I am primarily an oil painter, though I produce and show a lot of prints and drawings. The three etchings in this collection were done at Artichoke Printmaking Workshop in London, where I spent a year as a Fulbright fellow in fine arts. I was born in Louisiana and have lived most of my adult life in Oregon. I live with my wife in Portland and, aside from my studio work, have a part-time teaching job teaching painting and art history at Marylhurst University, and continue to work occasional construction jobs to keep the wolf from the door. Oddly enough, when these etchings were purchased from my dealer by the OSU Selection Committee, I was working construction on the new Valley Library. My brother Luke says that there are deeper meanings in this, but he won't tell me what they are.
